collected as provided in this Declaration. A Lot Owner shall have all voting rights and other
rights incident thereto as provided in this Declaration, the Articles and the Bylaws.
Section 2. Personal Obligations.
Each assessment, together with any late charge, interest, collection costs, and reasonable
attorney’s fees, shall be the personal obligation of the person or entity who was an Owner subject

from the seller the amount paid by the purchaser for such assessments. Suit to recover a money
judgment for such personal obligation shall be maintainable by the Association without
foreclosure or waiver of the lien securing the same. No Owner may avoid or diminish such
personal obligation by abandonment of his real estate.

The assessments levied by the Association shall be determined by the Board and shall be
the amount estimated to be required, on an annual basis, and shall be used exclusively, to
promote the Association purposes specified in Article II, Section 1 for the performance of the
duties of the Association as set forth in this Declaration, and for the repair, maintenance and

interest-bearing accounts with proper insurance to protect the balances of such accounts.

operating statement or budget for the forthcoming calendar year (the calendar year shall be the
fiscal year unless the Board specifies otherwise), and establishing the annual assessment for the
forthcoming calendar year, subject to the power of disapproval of the Lot Owners, as specified in
Section 5 of Article II; provided, however, that the Board may not establish an annual
assessment amount per Lot for any calendar year, which increases by more than fifteen (15)
percent over the annual assessment per Lot of the prior year without the approval by vote or
written consent of Owners holding a Majority of the voting rights.
Section 5. Special Assessments.
If the Board of Directors during a board meeting determines that the estimated total
amount of funds necessary to defray the common expenses of the Association for a given fiscal
year is or will become inadequate to meet expenses for any reason, including, but not limited to,
delinquencies in the payment of assessments, then the Board shall determine the approximate
amount necessary to defray such expenses; and if the amount is approved by a majority vote of
the Board, it shall become a special assessment; provided, however, the Board may not approve
one or more special assessments in any calendar year which in the aggregate exceed fifteen (15)
percent of the annual assessment per Lot for that calendar year, without the approval by vote or
written consent of Owners holding a Majority of the voting rights. The Board may, in its
discretion, prorate such special assessment over the remaining months of the fiscal year or levy
the assessment immediately against each Lot Owner.
Additionally, the Association shall have the power to incur expenses for maintenance and
repair of the improvements on any Lot and for other costs of remedying violations of provisions

same. No payment shall be due fewer than thirty (30) days after such written notice has been
given. Each delinquent assessment may charge interest as defined in its Collection Policy per
annum from the date it becomes due together with a late charge of TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS
AND NO CENTS ($25.00) for each delinquent installment. An assessment payment is
delinquent if not paid within thirty (30) days after its due date. Failure of the Association to give
notice of the assessment shall not affect the liability of the Owner for such assessment, but the
date when payment shall become due in such a case shall be deferred to a date thirty (30) days
after such notice shall have been given.
Section 9. Statement of Account.
Upon payment of a reasonable fee, and upon written request of any Owner or any
beneficiary of a deed of trust, prospective beneficiary, or prospective purchaser of Lots, the
Association shall issue a written statement setting forth the amount of the unpaid assessments, if
any, with respect to such real estate, the amount of the current periodic assessment, transfer fees,
and the date that such assessment becomes or became due, credit for advanced payments or
prepaid items, which statement shall be conclusive upon the Association in favor of persons who
rely thereon in good faith. Unless such request for a statement of account shall be complied
within thirty (30) days, all unpaid assessments which became due prior to the date of making
such request shall be subordinate to the lien of a deed of trust of the requesting beneficiary;
which acquired its interest subsequent to requesting such statement.

ARTICLE V
ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
All Builders, Lot Owners and others conducting construction activities within the
Subdivision shall comply with the standards specified in Articles V and VI of this Declaration as
well as any and all Design Guidelines recommended by the ADRC and adopted by the Board of
Directors related to these provisions.
Section 1. Building Envelope.
The ADRC may establish a building envelope and recommended point of access for each
Lot. This envelope will be based upon the topography of the Lot, its relationship to neighboring
Lots, and any unique feature that the Lot may have, such as trees, meadows, rock outcroppings,
etc. The size and shape of the building envelope may vary from Lot to Lot. If in the opinion of
the ADRC certain Lots do not warrant the establishment of a specially designated envelope, the
envelope for those Lots shall be set according to the normal setbacks of the governing local
agency for that type of Lot. In general, all building construction shall be confined to the building
envelope area. If in the opinion of the ADRC the building envelope shall cause the Lot Owner
undue hardship in locating his home or accessory improvements, variances may be permitted by
the ADRC.
Section 2. Design Guidelines.
The ADRC shall recommend by a majority vote and submit to the Board for adoption
Design Guidelines establishing the architectural standards for construction, landscaping and uses
on all Lots within the Subdivision. Once adopted, the Design Guidelines may be amended from
time to time by a majority vote of the ADRC submitted to the Board for adoption. All Lot
Owners shall comply with and abide by the Design Guidelines. Copies of the Design Guidelines
32 11/12/15 5:08 pm
shall be available to each Lot Owner at the time of close of escrow and shall be maintained at the
office of the Association. ADRC Design Guidelines are intended to be minimum requirements.
The ADRC may on a case-by-case basis, adopt or impose more stringent design requirements.
The Board of Directors shall have final approval of any and all Design Guidelines recommended
by the ADRC and the Appeal Panel shall review all appeals of ADRC decisions requested by Lot
Owners upon written request.
Section 3. Views.
No representation or warranties, covenants or agreements are made by the Association or
their agents, with respect to the presence or absence of any current or future view, scene or
location advantage from any portion of a Lot within the Subdivision. The view, scene or location
advantage may be adversely affected currently or in the future by construction or changes to the
following, including, without limitation, residential homes or other structures and facilities,
utility facilities, landscaping, Common Areas, public facilities, streets, sidewalks, hiking trails,
cell towers, neighborhood amenities and other activities, development or occurrences whether on
other land or on adjacent and nearby Lots. No representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements are made by the Association or their agents concerning the preservation or
permanence of any view, scene or location advantage for the Lot. The Association is not
responsible or liable for any impairment of such view, scene or location advantage for any
perceived or actual loss of value of the Lot resulting from such impairment. Lot Owners are
solely responsible for analyzing and determining all risks concerning the current and future value
of any view, scene or location advantage and the potential or existing impairment thereof and the
risks of preserving the view, scene or location advantage.
ARTICLE VI
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROLS AND DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE
Section 1. Committee Establishment and Membership.
The ArrowCreek Design Review Committee of the Association (“ADRC”) is hereby
established. Each ADRC member shall have an indefinite term and serve at the discretion of the
Board.
The ADRC shall be composed of both voting and non-voting members, the total
composition of which shall be not less than three (3) but not more than seven (7) members to be
appointed by the Board of Directors. A minimum of one (1) voting member must be a member of
the Board. Committee members are covered by the Association’s D&O insurance in the event of
litigation.
a. Lot Owners shall be voting members. Architects, landscape designers and
other professionals who are also Owners could be voting members or,
alternatively, they could choose to be non-voting members as described in
Section 1(b) of this Article VI.
33 11/12/15 5:08 pm
b. Non-Owner professionals who provide design review services to the ADRC
would be non-voting members. By becoming non-voting members, they are
further separated from the final decision process, providing additional
protection in the event of litigation. Non-voting members will be invited to
the meeting as needed to present their findings of design reviews and are
welcome to attend the full meeting.
Section 2. Written Approval of Plans.
Before commencing any building operations, written approval for exterior Lot
modification of any kind must be obtained from the ADRC covering building and plot plans for
all structures erected, altered, renovated, remodeled, placed, assembled, or permitted to remain
on any Lot in the Subdivision, including garages, walks, fences, dog runs, landscaping, ditches
and walls. The ADRC approval shall cover style, design, appearance, harmony of external
design, building materials, location of the proposed structure with respect to topography, finish
grade elevation and the street frontage. No approval shall be construed as modifying, altering, or
waiving any of the provisions herein set out unless a variance is issued by the ADRC.
The ADRC approval shall be granted only after written application has been made to the
ADRC in the manner and form prescribed by it. In the event a Lot Owner desires to redecorate
the exterior of any existing structure, it shall only be necessary to submit the proposed new color
scheme to the ADRC for its approval. Remodeling or adding to existing structures or making
structural or architectural changes, including landscaping, shall require the Lot Owner to submit
complete plans to the ADRC as in the case of erecting new structures.
Each Lot Owner shall be responsible to properly and attractively landscape his Lot, and
maintain such landscaping. A landscape plan is to be a part of the house plans and is to be
submitted to the ADRC for approval. Landscaping must be completed as specified in the
landscape plan within 90 days of obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy of the main dwelling on a
Lot, subject to extensions granted by the ADRC (e.g., for planting season).
Section 3. ADRC Powers.
The ADRC shall develop, maintain, and recommend ADRC Design Guidelines as well as
rules and regulations related to the architectural process, subject to approval by the Board who
shall have final approval. The ADRC shall review submissions and render decisions in
accordance with the Design Guidelines and regulations as may be amended from time to time. If
requested by the ADRC, applications must be resubmitted to the ADRC. The Appeal Panel
Directors for all ADRC decision appeals is outlined in Section 6 below.
Section 4. Time of Decision.
The decision of a majority of the ADRC, acting in good faith in its sole discretion, upon
any matters submitted or referred to it, shall be final and shall be strictly followed. Any decision
or approval by the ADRC shall not relieve an applicant or Lot Owner from complying with any
requirement of a public authority having jurisdiction, and shall not constitute any representation
34 11/12/15 5:08 pm
or guaranty by the ADRC or a member thereof of compliance of the submitted matter with any
statute, ordinance, or regulation pertaining thereto.
Section 5. No Improvements Without Approval.
No exterior improvement of any kind, including building, garage, shed, walkway,
satellite dish, fence, wall, retaining wall, dog run, drainage ditch or system, landscaping or any
other structure shall be commenced, erected, placed or altered on any Lot in the Subdivision until
the building plans and specifications thereof, have been submitted to and approved in writing by
the ADRC as to conformity and harmony of external design with the existing structures or
general scheme in the Subdivision, and as to location of the building with respect to topography
and finished ground elevation.
Section 6. Grounds for Disapproval and Appeals.
The ADRC may disapprove any application through the following procedure and as also
provided in the Design Guidelines:
a. Should a Lot Owner submit plans to the ADRC for approval and later receive
a rejection of some portion of their project including related construction
violations and penalties, and should the Owner feel that the rejection and/or
penalties are inappropriate; the Owner may file an appeal. The first step in
this process is to request a hearing with the ADRC Committee at their next
ADRC meeting, which are held at least once per month. The Owner must
explain in writing the reasons why he feels the guidelines were not properly
and/or consistently applied.
b. The Owner has the option to bypass the ADRC hearing process and submit an
appeal directly to the Appeal Panel. The Appeal Panel shall consist of three
members of the Board not currently on the ADRC and two ADRC members.
c. After reviewing the ADRC hearing notes and decision, the Appeal Panel may,
at its discretion, make one of three decisions:
1. Not hear the appeal if it sees no grounds to do so.
2. Make a decision based on all data submitted by the Owner.
3. Schedule a hearing with the Owner at a mutually convenient time.
d. If a hearing is granted, the Owner would be free to bring his or her architect
and/or builder to attend the hearing but no lawyers can attend without ADRC
legal counsel present. No decisions will made at the hearing. The Owner will
be notified of the Appeal Panel’s decision in writing following the hearing,
generally within a few days.
e. The Appeal Panel may reach one of the following three decisions:
35 11/12/15 5:08 pm
1. Confirm the decision of the ADRC.
2. Request additional input and/or reconsideration from the full ADRC.
3. Reverse of modify the initial ADRC ruling as appropriate.
f. The Appeal process is to allow for a review of all available information to
determine if some information was not fully considered, or if additional
information was provided by the owner, his architect, or his builder that may
be relevant. Additionally, prior precedent may be considered and determined
to be relevant or non-relevant at the discretion of the Panel based on the best
information available.
g. While the Appeal Panel does not wish to delay construction, the owner must
realize that the appeal process could potentially have a substantial impact on
their construction schedule. The date of the next available hearing can be
requested via an e-mail sent to [email protected], or by phone (775) 626-
7333 to the office of the Common Interest Community Manager of the
Association (“CICM”). If the Appeal Panel decides that the matter should go
back to the full ADRC for reconsideration, any reconsideration would be at
the next regularly scheduled ADRC meeting. The schedule of ADRC
meetings can also be obtained from the newsletter or Association website.
When a final decision is made by the Appeal Panel that decision would be
sent in writing to the homeowner by Certified and First Class U.S. Mail.
Should the owner, his builder, architect, or other representative have entered into any
legal action against the ADRC and/or the Association concerning their construction project, the
right to appeal would be forfeited.
Section 7. Rules and Regulations.
The ADRC may from time to time adopt written rules and regulations of general
application governing its procedures and approval criteria which may include, among other
things, provisions for the form and content of application; required number of copies of plans
and specifications; additional architectural guidelines, provisions for notice of approval or
disapproval, and various approval criteria.
Section 8. Conformance to Plans Required.
After any plans and specifications and other data submitted have been approved by the
ADRC, no structure of any kind shall be erected constructed, placed, altered, or maintained upon
a Lot unless the same shall be erected, constructed, or altered in conformity with the plans and
specifications, color scheme, and plot plan approved by the ADRC. If any structure of any kind
shall be erected, constructed, placed, altered, or maintained on a Lot other than in accordance
with the plans and specifications, color scheme and plot plan theretofore approved by the ADRC,
such erection, construction, placing, alterations and maintenance shall be deemed to have been
undertaken without the approval of the ADRC ever having been obtained. ADRC approval is
required for any change requests to approved plans before proceeding.
36 11/12/15 5:08 pm
Section 9. Variances.
The ADRC may grant reasonable variances or adjustments from the provisions in this
Article or the ADRC Guidelines where literal application thereof results in unnecessary hardship
and if the granting thereof in the opinion of the ADRC will not be materially detrimental or
injurious to other Lot Owners.
Section 10. Certification of Compliance (COC).
At any time prior to completion of construction of an improvement, the Committee may
require a certification upon such form as it shall furnish from the Builder, contractor, Lot Owner
or a licensed surveyor that such improvement does not violate any height restriction, set-back
rule, ordinance or statute, nor encroach upon any easement or right-of- way of record and/or that
all construction is in strict compliance with plans approved by the ADRC.
Section 11. Compensation and Filing Fee.
Members of the ADRC may be compensated by reasonable fees charged for ADRC
services, if said fees are approved by the Board. As a means of defraying its expenses, the ADRC
shall require a filing fee set by the ADRC to accompany the submission of plans and
specifications for a new single family home and a filing fee for submitting plans for remodeling
or additions or exterior redecorating color scheme.
Section 12. Liability.
Notwithstanding approval by the ADRC of plans and specifications, neither it, the
Association nor any person acting on behalf of any of them shall be responsible in any way for
any defects in any plans nor specifications or other material submitted to the ADRC, nor for any
defects in any work done pursuant thereto. Each person submitting such plans or specifications
shall be solely responsible for the sufficiency thereof and the adequacy of improvements
constructed pursuant thereto. No member of the ADRC shall be held liable to any person,
whether a Lot Owner or not, on account of any action or decision of the ADRC or failure of the
ADRC to take any action or make any decision.
Section 13. Enforcement.
In the event any improvement shall be commenced without ADRC approval as herein
required, or in the event any improvement is constructed not in conformance with plans
approved by the ADRC, or not in conformance with this Declaration, the same shall constitute a
violation of this Declaration. In addition to the remedies for violation of any portions of this
Declaration set forth in herein, the ADRC shall also have the power and authority to institute
arbitration, legal or other appropriate proceedings to enjoin or otherwise prevent a violation of
the provisions of this Declaration, and to recommend fines for levy by the Board. All costs of
dispute resolution, including attorney's fees, shall be charged to and paid by the Lot Owner if the
Association prevails. Such charges shall constitute a lien on such Owner’s Lot as provided in
37 11/12/15 5:08 pm
Article III hereof from the date of entry of the judgment therefore in the judgment docket. In the
event the Association is not successful, each party shall pay its own costs and attorney’s fees.

this Declaration:
a. the obligation of the Association to properly maintain all Common Areas in
the Subdivision; or
b. the obligation of the Association to pay prior to delinquency all County taxes
and assessments levied against Association property or against the
Association;
then County shall be entitled to commence an action to enforce such provisions by any means
allowed in law or equity, including the levy of a special assessment against all of the Owners,
which special assessment shall be secured by a lien in the manner provided in Article III hereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the County shall be entitled to commence such action
only after:
a. the County has given reasonable notice (which shall be not less than thirty
(30) days) to the Association, describing such violation, or if no Association is
in existence, by publication of reasonable notice in a newspaper of general
circulation in Washoe County; and

Section 3. Disclaimer of County Responsibility.
WASHOE COUNTY WILL NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR
MAINTENANCE OF THE PRIVATE STREET SYSTEM NOR ACCEPT THE
STREETS FOR DEDICATION TO WASHOE COUNTY UNLESS THE
STREETS MEET THOSE WASHOE COUNTY STANDARDS IN EFFECT AT
THE TIME OF OFFER FOR DEDICATION.
Section 4. Public Access Easements.
Certain Common Areas within the Subdivision shall be open to the public. An access
easement for these purposes is hereby granted to Washoe County on behalf of the public, at
reasonable times during daylight hours and subject to reasonable restrictions imposed by the
Association to reconcile issues of security, privacy and non-access for private residential areas of
the Subdivision with the right of limited public access as described in this Section.

Section 6. Setbacks for Overhead Power Lines.
Overhead electrical power lines traverse portions of the Subdivision. The minimum
setbacks specified in the National Electric Safety Code shall be required in all applicable areas in
proximity to these overhead power lines.
Section 7. Notice of Pedestrian Access.
Subject to rules and restrictions of the Association, open space and private trails (as well
as public trails) abutting Lots shall have access by pedestrians. To the extent said open space and
private trails are also Common Area, pedestrian or other types of access may be denied to the
general public and may be further restricted by the Association.
Section 8. Limitation On Water Use/Lot Owner Liability For Excess Water
Rights.
The Declarant entered into a certain Water Dedication Agreement ("Water Agreement")
dated March 18, 1997 with the County, the water service provider for the Subdivision. The
Water Agreement required Declarant to dedicate sufficient water rights acceptable to the County
for use on each Lot, pursuant to a proscribed dedication schedule (" Schedule") based on the size
of each Lot. The Nevada State Engineer approves the dedication and use of these water rights on
each Lot prior to construction of a residence on the Lot. If Lot Owners in the Subdivision
actually use more water on their Lots in the aggregate on an average annual basis than the water
rights so dedicated, pursuant to a verification procedure specified in the Water Agreement, the
Association is then required to dedicate an additional amount of water rights acceptable to the
County necessary to make up the difference between the actual aggregate water usage by Lot
Owners and the amount of water rights dedicated for the Lots pursuant to the Schedule
("Deficiency").
In the event the Association is required by the County to dedicate water rights for a
Deficiency, each Lot Owner whose actual water usage exceeds the water rights dedicated for that
Owner’s Lot shall be liable to the Association to either provide the additional water rights or to
reimburse the Association a sum of money sufficient to pay for the value and costs of the water
rights the Association must dedicate for the Lot, in the following manner:
a. After a Deficiency is established pursuant to the provisions of the Water
Agreement, the Association shall ascertain from the Subdivision water meter
usage records which Lots have exceeded by water usage the amount of water
rights dedicated under the Schedule, and the amount of excess water used on
each Lot. The Association shall then deduct from this amount an amount of
46 11/12/15 5:08 pm
water equal to the percentage in which the aggregate amount of excess Water
used by Lots which have exceeded by usage the water rights dedicated under
the Schedule exceeds the Deficiency. The result shall be the deficiency in
water rights for each Lot for which each said Lot Owner is liable ("Lot
Deficiency"). For example if the Deficiency is 100 acre feet per annum and
the total aggregate of excess water used by all Lots exceeding by water usage
the water rights dedicated under the Schedule is 120 acre feet, then the actual
excess water usage for each Lot would be reduced by 20% to arrive at the Lot
Deficiency.
b. The Association shall notify each Lot Owner by certified mail at the Lot
address of his Lot Deficiency and the fair market value of water rights
constituting the Lot Deficiency (including costs of application, permits and
consultant's fees to transfer the water rights to the County) (''Lot Deficiency
Cost").
c. Each Lot Owner with a Lot Deficiency shall have sixty (60) days from the
date of delivery of the notice (or the date said notice is returned as undelivered
or refused) either to pay to the Association the Lot Deficiency Cost or to
deliver to the Association an amount of water rights acceptable to the County
equal to the Lot Deficiency.
d. In the event a Lot Owner fails or refuses to perform its obligations under
Subsection c. above, the Association shall be entitled to a lien against the Lot
Owner's Lot in the amount of the Lot Deficiency Cost (plus all costs and
attorneys fees reasonably incurred for collection, and interest on the Lot
Deficiency Cost at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum until paid) in
which case the Association may record a Notice of Lien against said Lot in the
office of the Recording Washoe County, and the Lot Owner shall be
personally liable, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedy allowed to
the Association by law, for the Lot Deficiency Cost. Said lien, upon recording
of the Notice of Lien, shall be a burden on the Lot which runs with the land
and binds all successors and assigns.

Except as expressly limited herein, Association or any Owner shall have the right to
enforce the provisions of this Declaration now or hereafter imposed by arbitration as prescribed
by Nevada Revised Statutes 38.300-360, or by any proceeding at law or in equity. Failure by the
Association, Declarant or by any Owner to enforce any provision shall in no event be deemed a

procedures for resolving claims or disputes arising from the interpretation, application or
47 11/12/15 5:08 pm
enforcement of any provisions stated herein, or specified in the Articles, Bylaws, or rules and

deemed delivered 48 hours after deposit with the U.S. Postal Service or on the
date a receipt is signed, whichever is earlier.

proposed suspension on grounds other than failure to pay an assessment, that
the Owner may protest the suspension by written notice to the Board delivered

extension period, in which case a notice signed by said Owners must be executed and recorded.
This Declaration, subject to its provisions, may be amended by at least a Majority vote of the

be taken to preclude an aggrieved party's resort to any other remedy at law or in equity. No delay

different violation.
